Why an 18 year old Soldier in a war zone running on 70 hours of no sleep is held to a higher standard of skill, professionalism, and discipline than a police officer in Anytown USA is beyond me; and to think that 18 year old Soldier would be less competent than the officer if the roles were reversed is unfathomable.

Why are US police so violent towards everybody? Are they afraid? Insecure? Misogynists? Wannabe-army? What’s wrong with them?

Have you always been a piece of shit, or is it something you’ve worked towards?

Get off the computer Dad. I heard this already when Katrina hit.

Go directly to hell, you absolute nightmare of a person.

Typical of a Llama to spit in the face of victims.

Probably still not as grueling as Trump’s “personal Viet Nam”.

“forces that do not support the MAGA promise,”

Others may have said it, but I think Garth Ennis said it best...

That part stopped me dead. What the fuck, Virginia?

Lynchburg, Virginia.

Why the pivot?

This sounds fascinating, and reminds me also a bit of some of Paul Virilio’s work, such as his “War and Cinema.” Interesting thing about “shooting” with a camera: the “shoot” terminology comes from the fact that early motion picture cameras were literally shaped like rifles.

Not sure if this means anything, but there’s a post on Medium by a former Google senior engineer and he makes it sound like this guy was not a senior employee. Not sure how senior you’d have to be to be involved in hiring and peer review.
